If you only have two weeks total, getting two weeks straight is very hard, because you've probably had to use vacation days for other things, family obligations, christmas, etc, so you don't really have the time.
Fair point. I'm am so used to the statutory days paid provision as separate and extra from how many days holiday we get - Xmas, Boxing Day, Easter, August Bank Holiday etc.
So we always built around 9 day or 16 day breaks, and everyone else seems to. There's usually a few holiday days left over for the odd day off. Some places didn't even count the compassionate things or family emergencies towards holiday entitlement days. Heck, when I was contracting, we took a few - obviously unpaid - one month holidays!
